We are pleased to share that our co-founder has contributed an article to Harper’s Bazaar Japan, offering insights into Ceramic Brussels 2025. The article explores the fair’s expanding influence and how ceramics have evolved into a recognised and dynamic medium within contemporary art.
Below is a summary of the article, translated into English:
Now in its second edition, Ceramic Brussels has expanded in scale, bringing together 65 galleries from 15 countries, including Europe, North America, and Japan. With works by more than 200 artists exhibited between 22 and 26 January, the fair continues to establish itself as a key platform for contemporary ceramics.
During the fair, our co-founder had the opportunity to interview Gilles Parmentier and Jean-Marc Dimanche, the fair’s founders, who shared their insights on the global rise of ceramics. Parmentier emphasised that ceramics are now gaining worldwide attention and that this was the ideal time to bring the medium back into the international spotlight as contemporary art.
The article explores how ceramics have seen a significant shift in perception over the past decade. Once positioned outside the mainstream of contemporary art, ceramics have increasingly gained recognition for their conceptual depth, material versatility, and unique ability to challenge artistic conventions. The medium’s growing presence in galleries, museums, and major art fairs underscores this evolution, reflecting a broader movement that has expanded the boundaries of contemporary artistic practice.
As Ceramic Brussels continues to grow, it serves not only as a showcase for leading ceramic artists but also as a platform shaping the conversations that will define the future of the medium. The fair fosters artistic exchange and deeper engagement with ceramics as an evolving and vital force in contemporary art.
